Curved connections with Bendpoints? [message #223323] Mon, 25 September 2006 08:32 Go to next message

Hallo,

I'm trying to do an editor with curved connections, e.g. like in
MatLab/StateFlow. For each connection I have the 2 anchors and one extra
point. I'm doing this:

(...)
con.removeAllPoints();
BendpointConnectionRouter router = new BendpointConnectionRouter();
con.setConnectionRouter(router);
router.setConstraint(con, pointList);
router.route(con);
return con;

But the connection aren't curved, like before. I don't get to understand
how it works. I've looked on the doc, on the news, etc, and I don't find
how to do it.

Could you please give me some tip, or where I can read more about it?

Thanks a lot! :)

Robert

Thanks Siddharth! I've added it, but... nothing:

con.removeAllPoints();
BendpointConnectionRouter router = new BendpointConnectionRouter();
con.setConnectionRouter(router);
>con.setRoutingConstraint(pointList);
router.setConstraint(con, pointList);
router.route(con);
return con;

The anchors I'm using are ChopboxAnchors, but I think it can work also
with such an anchor, isn't it?

Or maybe there is a problem with the connection layer?

....

Thanks a lot for your tips!

Robert

Hi,
I had implemented bendpoint sometime ago and this is how I had done it

Edit Part corresponding to the main model class#createFigure

ConnectionLayer connLayer =
(ConnectionLayer)getLayer(LayerConstants.CONNECTION_LAYER);
connLayer.setConnectionRouter(new AutomaticBendpointConnectionRouter());

Then in ConnectionEditPart (plz dont look at the coding style)
propertyChange method

((PolylineConnection)getFigure()).getConnectionRouter().rout e((PolylineConnection)
getFigure());
((org.eclipse.draw2d.Connection)getFigure()).setRoutingConst raint(getCastedModel().getBendpoints());

The above property change method should be called whenever the
ConnectionModel has a change in the List of bendpoints it has

I am assuming that you already have installed bendpoint editpolicy for
your connection edit part

Wish You Luck

Thanks,
Siddharth
